You
can abbreviate this command line switch as /V. Unfortunately, despite the documentation for
HIMEM.SYS online, you can??™t display the verbose messages by pressing the Alt key as the system
loads HIMEM.SYS into memory; you must use the /VERBOSE command line switch to see the
extended messages.
Modifying AutoExec.NT
Although Config.NT offers some interesting low-level methods of changing the command line
environment, the AutoExec.NT file provides far more opportunities. Any application that you can
access from the command line is also a candidate for inclusion in the AutoExec.NT file. Adding
applications that you always use can set up the command line from the outset, so you see what you
need without entering any commands at all. You can also program the AutoExec.NT file as you
would any other batch file. This means you can add menus to your setup so you can choose the
options you want to see. See the ???Creating Batch Files??? section of the chapter for details on creating
a programmed interface to your AutoExec.NT file. The sections that follow describe some utilities
that you??™ll use most often from within the AutoExec.NT file.
